Tembleque, which means "wiggly," is a creamy coconut pudding. My husband is Puerto Rican and wanted me to make this!

Ingredients

  • 2 cans coconut milk , 14 ounce
  • 0.75 cups sugar
  • 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 0.5 cups cornstarch
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. 1

    Stir together coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons coconut milk mixture into a small bowl and stir in cornstarch until dissolved; pour into the saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil while stirring constantly; cook until smooth and thick, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Pour into molds, cover each with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until cold and firm, 3 hours to 2 days.

  3. 3

    Run a thin knife around the edges of each mold; invert onto serving plates. Garnish tops with cinnamon.
